New Delhi, Aug 10 (TIWN) In wake of complaints of phenomenally high fares on India-UK route, India's civil aviation regulator has suggested passengers travelling on international flights check fares from the airline's websites and not on online search engines.

The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) on Tuesday issued a travel advisory to passengers flying to international destinations to check the fare from the official website of the concerned airline as the ticket prices shown on metasearch engines are often “exaggerated”. This comes a day after the DGCA asked airlines to ensure that the fares on metasearch engines are not higher than the ones displayed on the carriers' websites.
